Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a PCB shield, a PCB board, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of electronic devices, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), as one of the core components of modern electronic devices, are widely used in electronic products, industrial equipment, robotics, and other technical fields. Because electromagnetically sensitive modules or circuits are often used in high-frequency or complex signal circuits, they are easily affected by external electromagnetic interference, thus impacting normal operation. Therefore, PCBs need to be used in conjunction with shielding covers to achieve good shielding effects, reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), protect sensitive circuits on the PCB from external electromagnetic waves, and prevent electromagnetic waves emitted from the PCB from interfering with other devices.

[0003] However, as the number of large-size modules increases, the size of the shielding cover also increases, leading to a growing problem of shielding cover warping due to secondary module mounting. Related technologies address this issue by increasing the amount of solder at the four corners of the shielding cover or by thickening the shielding cover material. However, increasing the amount of solder at the four corners still carries the risk of warping during reflow, and thickening the shielding cover material increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a PCB shielding cover, PCB board and electronic device, so that the PCB shielding cover can be fixed to the PCB board by a snap-fit ​​structure, which can effectively prevent the PCB shielding cover from lifting and save production costs.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this utility model provide a PCB shielding cover, comprising: a main shielding frame and a main shielding cover; the main shielding frame includes a frame support structure perpendicular to the PCB board and a main frame structure parallel to the PCB board; the frame support structure is disposed between two opposing limiting holes on the PCB board; the main frame structure covers the PCB board in parallel; the main shielding cover includes a snap-fit ​​structure for fixing to the PCB board and a covering structure parallel to the PCB board; the snap-fit ​​structure is fastened to the limiting holes on the PCB board; the covering structure completely covers the main frame structure and is fitted snugly to the covering structure.

[0006] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a PCB board, the PCB board comprising: a PCB board body, at least two limiting holes for cooperating with a PCB shield, and the aforementioned PCB shield.

[0007] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an electronic device, including: the PCB shielding cover described above, and the PCB board described above.

[0008] In this embodiment of the utility model, the PCB shielding cover includes a main shielding frame for support.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been provided in the various embodiments of this utility model to help readers better understand this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments. The division of the various embodiments below is for the convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this utility model. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.

[0020] One embodiment of this utility model relates to a PCB shielding cover 1, which can be applied to PCB boards and various electronic devices using PCBs. The PCB shielding cover 1 includes: a main shielding frame 100 and a main shielding cover 200; the main shielding frame 100 includes a frame support structure 101 perpendicular to the PCB board 300 and a main frame structure 102 parallel to the PCB board 300; the frame support structure 101 is disposed between two opposing limiting holes 301 on the PCB board 300; the main frame structure 102 is parallel to and covers the PCB board 300; the main shielding cover 200 includes a snap-fit ​​structure 201 for fixing to the PCB board 300 and a covering structure parallel to the PCB board 300; the snap-fit ​​structure 201 is snapped into place with the limiting holes 301 on the PCB board 300; the covering structure completely covers the main frame structure 102 and is fitted snugly against the covering structure. In this embodiment of the invention, the PCB shielding cover includes a main shielding frame for support. The main shielding frame includes a support structure and a main frame structure for support. The support structure and main frame structure of the main shielding frame support the shielding cover, preventing damage to components or circuits on the PCB board and reducing PCB maintenance costs. The main shielding cover includes a snap-fit ​​structure and a covering structure. The snap-fit ​​structure engages with the limiting holes on the PCB board to fix the PCB shielding cover, thereby preventing the PCB shielding cover from lifting, improving the stability of the shielding cover installed on the PCB board, and also saving on the reinforcement cost of the PCB shielding cover. The following is a detailed description of the implementation details of the PCB shielding cover in the embodiment of the invention. The following content is only for ease of understanding and is not essential for implementing this solution.

[0021] In the first embodiment of this utility model, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 201 of the main shield 200 includes an outwardly protruding elastic snap spring 2001; the outer edge 2002 of the protrusion of the elastic snap spring 2001 exceeds the predetermined interference amount of the limiting hole 301 of the PCB board 300; the limiting hole 301 of the PCB board 300 and the outer edge 2002 of the protrusion of the elastic snap spring 2001 interfere and clamp together to fix the main shield 200. The value range of the predetermined interference amount is 0.05mm to 0.20mm.

[0022] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure 201 of the main shielding cover 200 also includes an outwardly extending support foot; the support foot is connected to the elastic spring clip 2001, and the support foot abuts against the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300. Fixing the snap-fit ​​structure 201 with the support foot avoids loosening of the elastic spring clip 2001 due to insufficient friction, further improving the stability of the snap-fit ​​structure 201 and ensuring that the PCB shielding cover 1 will not warp.

[0023] Furthermore, the main shielding cover 200 includes four snap-fit ​​structures 201. The elastic snap rings 2001 interfer with and engage with the limiting holes 301 located at the four corners of the PCB board 300 to fix the PCB shielding cover 1 and prevent it from warping. Correspondingly, the PCB board 300 has four limiting holes 301, respectively located at the four corners of the PCB board 300 and spaced at a predetermined distance from the two opposite edges of the PCB board 300. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a PCB board. Limiting holes (not shown in the diagram) are provided at corners A, B, C, and D of the PCB board. Sides a and b of the PCB board are two opposite sides, and corners A and B have two opposite limiting holes. Corners C and D have two opposite limiting holes. Corners A and D are spaced at a preset distance from side a, and corners B and C are spaced at a preset distance from side b.

[0024] Specifically, the PCB shielding cover 1 includes a main shielding frame 100 and a main shielding cover 200. The main shielding frame 100 and the main shielding cover 200 are fitted together. The frame support structure 101 of the main shielding frame 100 is supported on the PCB board 300. The main frame structure 102 is parallel to the PCB board 300. The frame support structure 101 and the main frame structure 102 are integrally formed, meaning they are made of the same material. The main shielding cover 200 consists of a snap-fit ​​structure 201 and a covering structure. The covering structure can be made of alloy materials such as ZSNH zinc-tin-nickel alloy, stainless steel, or nickel silver to achieve electromagnetic signal shielding. The snap-fit ​​structure 201 can be made of an elastic alloy material or stainless steel (such as SUS304).

[0025] Specifically, the elastic retaining spring 2001 has a material thickness of 0.2 mm, an overall vertical length (excluding the outward protrusion) of 1.8 mm, and a vertical length of only the protrusion of 1.0 mm. Since the elastic retaining spring 2001 needs to be interfering with the limiting hole 301 of the PCB board 300 (i.e., interference interference), before the PCB shield 1 is installed, the protrusion of the elastic retaining spring 2001 exceeds the preset interference amount of the limiting hole 301 of the PCB board 300. Therefore, when the PCB shield 1 is installed, the protrusion of the elastic retaining spring 2001 can be tightened by the limiting hole 301. The preset interference amount ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm, preferably 0.15 mm. The range of the preset interference amount can be adjusted according to actual production needs, and this application does not impose any limitations on it. Figure 5 This is a complete top view of the PCB shielding cover and PCB board used in conjunction with the first embodiment of this application. This utility model enhances the fit between the shielding cover and the PCB board 300 by using an elastic retaining spring 2001, thereby preventing the shielding cover from lifting due to process and flatness issues during secondary surface mounting of the PCB modules.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the PCB shielding cover includes a main shielding frame for support. The main shielding frame includes a support structure and a main frame structure for support. The support structure and the main frame structure of the main shielding frame support the shielding cover, preventing damage to components or circuits on the PCB board and reducing PCB maintenance costs. The main shielding cover includes a snap-fit ​​structure and a covering structure. The snap-fit ​​structure matches the PCB shielding cover with the limiting holes on the PCB board to fix the PCB shielding cover, thereby preventing the PCB shielding cover from lifting, improving the stability of the shielding cover installed on the PCB board, and also saving the reinforcement cost of the PCB shielding cover.

[0027] The examples mentioned in the above embodiments can be freely combined, and any combination can be understood as an embodiment. The terms "embodiment" or "example" appearing in various locations in the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor are they independent or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0028] In the second embodiment of this utility model, as Figures 6 to 8As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 201 of the main shielding cover 200 includes: a support covering structure 2005, a connecting structure 2006, a reinforcing structure 2007, and a bending support structure 2008; the support covering structure 2005 is attached to and covers the outer side of the frame support structure 101; the support covering structure 2005 and the bending support structure 2008 are connected through the connecting structure 2006; the reinforcing structure 2007 is attached to the connecting structure 2006; the bending support structure 2008 extends to below the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300 and abuts against the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300. The bending support structure 2008 includes an extension 21 and a bending portion 22. The extension 21 is connected to the connecting structure 2006 and extends below the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300. The bending portion 22 forms a preset angle with the extension 21, and the bending portion 22 abuts against the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300. The preset angle ranges from 130° to 155°.

[0029] Furthermore, the main shielding cover 200 includes four snap-fit ​​structures 201. The snap-fit ​​structures 201 abut against and lock into the limiting holes 301 located at the four corners of the PCB board 300 to fix the PCB shielding cover 1 and prevent the PCB shielding cover 1 from lifting.

[0030] Specifically, the PCB shielding cover 1 includes a main shielding frame 100 and a main shielding cover 200. The main shielding frame 100 and the main shielding cover 200 are fitted together. The frame support structure 101 of the main shielding frame 100 is supported on the PCB board 300. The main frame structure 102 is parallel to the PCB board 300. The frame support structure 101 and the main frame structure 102 are integrally formed, meaning they are made of the same material. The main shielding cover 200 consists of a snap-fit ​​structure 201 and a covering structure. The covering structure can be made of alloy materials such as ZSNH zinc-tin-nickel alloy, stainless steel, or nickel silver to achieve electromagnetic signal shielding. The snap-fit ​​structure 201 can be made of an elastic alloy material or stainless steel (such as SUS304).

[0031] Specifically, the overall length of the support covering structure 2005, connecting structure 2006, reinforcing structure 2007, and bending support structure 2008 of the snap-fit ​​structure 201 is 0.8mm, and the material thickness is 0.25mm. For example... Figure 7As shown, from the shielding surface of the PCB board 300 (i.e., the front side of the PCB board 300, the side with components, circuits, and modules) to the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300 (i.e., the back side of the PCB board 300, the side without components, circuits, and modules), the snap-fit ​​structure 201 consists of, in sequence, a support covering structure 2005, a connecting structure 2006, a reinforcing structure 2007, and a bending support structure 2008. The support covering structure 2005 covers the frame support structure 101 of the main shielding frame 100. The connecting structure 2006 connects the support covering structure 2005 and the bending support structure 2008. The reinforcing structure 2007 strengthens the connecting structure 2006. The bending support structure 2008 abuts against and locks against the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300 at the limiting hole 301, thereby preventing the PCB shielding cover 1 from warping.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the bending support structure 2008 includes an extension 21 and a bending portion 22. One end of the extension 21 extends downwards from the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300, and the other end of the extension 21 is connected to the connecting structure 2006. The end of the extension 21 connected to the connecting structure 2006 is one end of the bending portion 22, and the other end of the bending portion 22 abuts against the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300. Figure 7 As shown, the extensions 21 of the supporting covering structure 2005, connecting structure 2006, reinforcing structure 2007, and bending support structure 2008 are aligned in a straight line. The angle between the bending portion 22 and the extension 21 ranges from 130° to 155°, that is, the angle between the bending portion 22 and the direction of the connecting structure 2006 is from 25° to 50°. Preferably, the angle between the bending portion 22 and the extension 21 is 150°, that is, the angle between the bending portion 22 and the direction of the connecting structure 2006 is 30°. By utilizing the contact between the bending portion 22 and the unshielded surface of the PCB board 300, the PCB shielding cover 1 is fixedly snapped onto the PCB board 300, thereby preventing the shielding cover from lifting due to process and flatness issues during secondary surface mounting of the module.

[0033] Furthermore, the main shielding cover 200 includes four of the aforementioned snap-fit ​​structures 201. Correspondingly, the PCB board 300 has four limiting holes 301, which are respectively disposed at the four corners of the PCB board 300 and are spaced at a preset distance from the two opposite sides of the PCB board 300. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a PCB board. Limiting holes (not shown in the diagram) are provided at corners A, B, C, and D of the PCB board. Sides a and b of the PCB board are two opposite sides, and corners A and B have two opposite limiting holes. Corners C and D have two opposite limiting holes. Corners A and D are spaced at a preset distance from side a, and corners B and C are spaced at a preset distance from side b. Figure 9This is a complete bottom view of the PCB shielding cover used in conjunction with the PCB board according to the second embodiment of this utility model.

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the PCB shielding cover includes a main shielding frame for support. The main shielding frame includes a support structure and a main frame structure for support. The support structure and the main frame structure of the main shielding frame support the shielding cover, preventing damage to components or circuits on the PCB board and reducing PCB maintenance costs. The main shielding cover includes a snap-fit ​​structure and a covering structure. The snap-fit ​​structure matches the PCB shielding cover with the limiting holes on the PCB board to fix the PCB shielding cover, thereby preventing the PCB shielding cover from lifting, improving the stability of the shielding cover installed on the PCB board, and also saving the reinforcement cost of the PCB shielding cover.

Preferably, the number of limiting holes 301 is four. Figure 4 As shown, corners A, B, C, and D of the PCB board 300 are respectively provided with limiting holes 301.
